| Dashboard warning light for brakes, abs, and tcs light up randomly so the driver cannot determine if there is a problem with the brakes or it is a false warning. the car was examined by don joseph toyota/scion in kent, ohio on march 1, 2010. they said the right rear sensor was malfunctioning and it would cost approximately $700 to repair it because the car has 53,000 miles on it and is out of warranty. this failure has been occurring intermittently for one month. *tr | |||

| I bought a 2008 scion xd in september 2008. 6 weeks after i bought the car, i totaled it when steering on an on-ramp to the highway. it spun three times and finally stopped after hitting the guardrail. i was alone. i got whiplash. i am a very experienced driver but the car lost absolute control at a low speed (under 25 mph) but on wet blacktop in the fall in new england.. the car was $30 from being classified as a total. the body shop was owned by the dealer - not sure if the $30 discrepancy had anything to do with that. they also said the frame/unibody was slightly off and left me with a totally valueless car with 3,000 miles on it. since then i do not trust the steering of the car. it does seem to swim at speeds over 55 - 60 mph - almost a hydroplaning feel to the steering on dry pavement. i wonder what it will take for it to be recalled? *tr | |||
